Summer, with monsoon rains

Here in New Mexico this means that one doesn’t have to water the garden any more, everything turns lush and green, and the air is humid. However, due to the high altitude (I’m almost 7000 ft. above sea level) it … Continue reading

Crazy weather

I moved to New Mexico from Berkeley/California, where the temperature difference between summer and winter, day and night was negligible, compared to here. Last Sunday it was about 75 degrees and I was walking around in a tank top and … Continue reading

Welcome back!

He stands on one leg for hours on end, without moving. Maybe he’s an accomplished Zen-master; or maybe he’s just asleep. The Washington Department for Fish and Wildlife has a live HeronCam — two, actually. Have a look. You can … Continue reading

Happy Birthday, blog…

It’s been a year — if I would have forgotten, I was rudely reminded by the fact that my css- subscription ran out. I paid $10 or so a year ago, to get a more customized look, and then never … Continue reading

Looks almost warm

It’s been so cold here lately… I don’t remember where I found this picture or who the artist is, but I love its sensuous beauty. Makes one want to snuggle up, to cuddle.

More pictures

I’ve updated my photography website — it’s far from perfect, f.e. I haven’t been able to find a way to add captions to the slide show images, so one doesn’t know what one is looking at, most of the time. … Continue reading

Oh, the sweet taste…

Every year during the warm months, from mid-April to mid-September, I buy tons of sugar. More than five pounds a week, of the white, cheap kind — for the hummingbirds. If I calculate 25 weeks at 5 LB/week, that brings … Continue reading

Mieze high up in the tree

I doubt she remembers how she got up there, and she certainly doesn’t know how to get down by herself — but she’s so sweet!

Early morning guest

Just around sunrise, a Great Blue Heron hangs out on the other side of the Chama River, opposite from my bedroom window. Sometimes there are two. I have to keep my dogs in so they don’t annoy the big birds…
